The University of Toronto would like to congratulate
Peter and Héléne Hunt for their recent gift of $25,000
to establish an opera scholarship through the
SPRINGBOARD Student Awards Program.

‘The Hunts’ donation will be matched THREE times
through the Waters Challenge Fund to create an
‘endowment of $100,000. Income from this fund will
provide one of our talented students with substantial
financial assistance towards the mounting costs of
their studies in Opera annually for generations to

come. Thank You!

The triple-matching is ending soon! Have you given
to SPRINGBOARD yet? All gifts are important and
appreciated. Turn $1 into $4 — just like that!

Please call Marilyn Brown at 416-946-3145 to make

your gift, or give online at www.giving.utoronto.ca.

CONTINUO

for the continued support of opera
at the University of Toronto

In an effort to provide further financial assistance in support
of the ongoing activities of the opera division, we are creating
CONTINUO — a monthly giving program. We are seeking
100 opera lovers to donate $25 per month through pre-
authorized credit card deductions.

Monthly giving provides a consistent and reliable source of
funding for the opera division. It is also convenient for you,
since you will receive a single, consolidated tax receipt for all
your CONTINUO donations once a year. You can increase,
decrease, pause or stop your donations at any time by con-

tacting the Faculty of Music.

The option still exists to participate in CONTINUO for
2004-2005 with a single gift of $300 by cheque or credit
card.

To join the CONTINUO monthly giving program, make a
single gift or for information on other ways to support opera
at the University of Toronto such as including a provision
through your estate planning, please contact Marilyn Brown

at 416-946-3145.

All donations are important and appreciated. We are indeed
grateful for your support.
